TheBlackPhone director Scott Derrickson commented on the possibility of a sequel to the Ethan Hawke horror movie. 'Joe Hill pitched me a wonderful idea for a sequel to Black Phone that, if this movie does well, I'm gonna do it. He's got a great idea.'
Scott Derrickson, ]director of The Black Phone, says that there may be potential for a sequel to the horror film. Dickerson is well-versed in the horror world, known for some of the films that he's written and directed such as The Exorcism of Emily Rose, Sinister, and Deliver Us from Evil. He also directed Doctor Strange and co-wrote the film with C. Robert Cargill, his writing partner that returned to write The Black Phone with him.
The Black Phone is based on the short story of the same title from Joe Hill and can be found in his New York Times bestselling book of short stories, 20th Century Ghosts. The film features Ethan Hawke in the role of a terrifying kidnapper known as The Grabber in 1978 Denver.
Joe Hill pitched me a wonderful idea for a sequel to Black Phone that, if this movie does well, I'm gonna do it. He's got a great idea, I really liked it. Joe's very protective and personal about his material, but he came to me with the idea and I was like, 'That's how you do a sequel to Black Phone. That's terrific.'
The Black Phone has the opportunity to perform well in theaters due to a few factors - from Derrickson's skills as a horror director to Hawke's terrifying performance as The Grabber, there is plenty for genre lovers to sink their teeth into. The Black Phone has also been received very well by critics, currently holding an 84% score on Rotten Tomatoes.
Should The Black Phone gain popularity from its cast, directing, and critically acclaimed source material, a sequel is very promising based on Derrickson's eagerness to continue working with Hill. The Black Phone 2 could potentially take form as a prequel, focusing on one of the dead victims that Finney meets through the phone. It could also follow Finney in the future as he deals with the residual trauma from his experience with The Grabber.
